Next week's previews have me concerned. Most of it was post-Winterfest. I get not wanting to spoil too much of Winterfest, but this leads me to believe Winterfest is like 1-2 days max and then it's over. That's very short for such a big event that's been hyped for months.

The promos for this soap have been nonexistent. Is that because CBS doesn't feel it has nothing going on?

Did they continue today's episode with Nicole meeting the doctor from her blind date? Reading Errol's post tells me no. What awful pacing by MVJ.

• Not Jacob having something negative to say about Eva, and he barely even knows her.

Notes:

• I never expected Dunn and Paige to work together, but they are a dream team! Hope to get more from them as we head into 2026.

Jacob is on the outs with his shrew of a wife Naomi so he has to play along in order to get back into her good graces, plus he being the older brother.. he also looks down on those that aren't 'perfect' like him.

Dunn was one of the break down writers I read wasn't staying when season 2 hits, which is a shame because he was a good break down writer that had worked with MVJ going all the way back to her days on Santa Barbara.

-- The writers need to do better, though, with throwaway dialogue. Today, Eva dropped a line that she really didn't care what she wore to WinterFest. Huh? This is a girl who cares about everything she wears, and we can see party choices all over her couch. Then Leslie shows up and Eva is wowed by what she brought her -- just by pulling down the garment bag zipper. She didn't even look at the thing.

-- Pacing continues to be a problem. Ted is just now getting after Tomas for sleeping with Kat and Eva? This should have already happened. Instead, we're all saying "Where's the father in all this? Ted is absent and doesn't care." We get one "gotcha" after another like this -- the show reminding us they haven't forgotten anything. As I've said before, they play this card too frequently.

That B&B style is what's hurting this show more than anything

They continue to lay this Vernon/Sharon thing on thick - so annoying. We know he isn't cheating... and if he really is, that would be disgusting and lazy writing because Ted and Bill already have.

So so tired of this fake Vernon/Sharon thing.

I want WF 2026 to be a grand affair. CBS open up them purse strings a bit lol.

Leslie and Marcel are a good looking match made in hell. Im loving this distraction from Teddy Weddy at least for a bit.

I figured we weren't going to see Dr Rollins until next week. Im no soap rookie.

Kat lets Eva get in her head too damn much. Eva does something, Kat reacts, her family doesn't respond the way she wants and now we got her contemplating moving in with the walking dead. Ugh

Sign me up for Leslie and Marcel.

-- A minute after I brag on the wardrobe and styling on GATES, Eva shows up in a WinterFest dress with cutouts and boots -- and is all kinds of wrong.

-- "Articulettes Strong" was back. Ugh.

-- Ending the show and the week with the stupid "Is Vernon cheating" storyline was a poor decision. We had A LOT of buildup to this WinterFest thing, and it looks like that's not going to pay off.

Cuz you know I had to squeeze in some viewing between work so let me get this off my chest...

TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at those anvils!!! Devon and the weather deal with Barbara! Laura's very presence and now Anita bringing up (recapping really) the fact that Kat and Jacob had gone after SPS. Who is about to have total recall on that crazy heffa???

Dunn isn't my favorite breakdown writer, but this episode has a nice build that reminds me of the build for the anniversary party.

Love seeing all the recurring characters that I like so far.

PS. TeamKat

To be fair...the anniversary party was hyped, too, and that was 3 days worth of episodes, not including aftermath episodes I believe.

OH...I almost forgot...

Marcel well cleans up well.

'That's a Tuesday for me.' LET THEM KNOW, KAT!!! BLOOOP!!!
